BACKGROUND

Serine proteases make up the largest and most extensively studied groupof proteolytic enzymes. Their critical roles in physiological processesextend over such diverse areas as blood coagulation, fibrinolysis,complement activation, reproduction, digestion, and the release ofphysiologically active peptides. Many of these vital processes beginwith cleavage of a single peptide bond or a few peptide bonds inprecursor protein or peptides. Sequential limited proteolytic reactionsor cascades are involved in blood clotting, fibrinolysis, and complementactivation. The biological signals to start these cascades can becontrolled and amplified as well. Similarly, controlled proteolysis canshut down or inactivate proteins or peptides through single bondcleavages.

Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases. In humans, plasmakallikrein (KLKB1) has no known homologue, while tissuekallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) encode a family of fifteen closelyrelated serine proteases. Plasma kallikrein participates in a number ofpathways relating to the intrinsic pathway of coagulation, inflammation,and the complement system.

Coagulation is the process by which blood forms clots, for example tostop bleeding. The physiology of coagulation is somewhat complex insofaras it includes two separate initial pathways, which converge into afinal common pathway leading to clot formation. In the final commonpathway, prothrombin is converted into thrombin, which in turn convertsfibrinogen into fibrin, the latter being the principal building block ofcross-linked fibrin polymers which form a hemostatic plug. Of the twoinitial pathways upstream of the final common pathway, one is known asthe contact activation or intrinsic pathway, and the other is known asthe tissue factor or extrinsic pathway.

The intrinsic pathway begins with formation of a primary complex oncollagen by high-molecular-weight kininogen (HMWK), prekallikrein, andFXII (Factor XII; Hageman factor). Prekallikrein is converted tokallikrein, and FXII is activated to become FXIIa. FXIIa then convertsFactor XI (FXI) into FXIa, and FXIa in turn activates Factor IX (FIX),which with its co-factor FVIIIa form the “tenase” complex, whichactivates Factor X (FX) to FXa. It is FXa which is responsible for theconversion of prothrombin into thrombin within the final common pathway.

Prekallikrein, the inactive precursor of plasma kallikrein, issynthesized in the liver and circulates in the plasma bound to HMWK oras a free zymogen. Prekallikrein is cleaved by activated factor XII(FXIIa) to release activated plasma kallikrein (PK). Activated plasmakallikrein displays endopeptidase activity towards peptide bonds afterarginine (preferred) and lysine. PK then generates additional FXIIa in afeedback loop which in turn activates factor XI (FXI) to FXIa to connectto the common pathway. Although the initial activation of the intrinsicpathway is through a small amount of FXIIIa activating a small amount ofPK, it is the subsequent feedback activation of FXII by PK that controlsthe extent of activation of the intrinsic pathway and hence downstreamcoagulation. Hathaway, W. E., et al. (1965) Blood 26:521-32.

Activated plasma kallikrein also cleaves HMWK to release the potentvasodilator peptide bradykinin. It is also able to cleave a number ofinactive precursor proteins to generate active products, such as plasmin(from plasminogen) and urokinase (from prourokinase). Plasmin, aregulator of coagulation, proteolytically cleaves fibrin into fibrindegradation products that inhibit excessive fibrin formation.

Patients who have suffered acute myocardial infarction (MI) showclinical evidence of being in a hypercoagulable (clot-promoting) state.This hypercoagulability is paradoxically additionally aggravated inthose receiving fibrinolytic therapy. Increased generation of thrombin,as measured by thrombin-antithrombin III (TAT) levels, is observed inpatients undergoing such treatment compared to the already high levelsobserved in those receiving heparin alone. Hoffmeister, H. M. et al.(1998) Circulation 98:2527-33. The increase in thrombin has beenproposed to result from plasmin-mediated activation of the intrinsicpathway by direct activation of FXII by plasmin.

Not only does the fibrinolysis-induced hypercoagulability lead toincreased rates of reocclusion, but it is also probably responsible, atleast in part, for failure to achieve complete fibrinolysis of the clot(thrombus), a major shortcoming of fibrinolytic therapy (Keeley, E. C.et al. (2003) Lancet 361: 13-20). Another problem in fibrinolytictherapy is the accompanying elevated risk of intracranial hemorrhage.Menon, V. et al. (2004) (Chest 126:549S-575S; Fibrinolytic TherapyTrialists' Collaborative Group (1994) Lancet 343:311-22. Hence, anadjunctive anti-coagulant therapy that does not increase the risk ofbleeding, but inhibits the formation of new thrombin, would be greatlybeneficial.

Therefore, a need exists to develop inhibitors of PK that can tip thebalance of fibrinolysis/thrombosis at the occluding thrombus towarddissolution, thereby promoting reperfusion and also attenuating thehypercoagulable state, thus preventing thrombus from reforming andreoccluding the vessel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Inhibitors of plasma kallikrein have been reported and are useful intherapeutic methods and compositions suitable for use in eliminating orreducing various forms of ischemia, including but not limited toperioperative blood loss, cerebral ischemia, the onset of systemicinflammatory response, and/or reperfusion injury, e.g., reperfusioninjury associated with cerebral ischemia or a focal brain ischemia.Perioperative blood loss results from invasive surgical procedures thatlead to contact activation of complement components and thecoagulation/fibrinolysis systems. Kallikrein inhibitors can be used toreduce or prevent perioperative blood loss and a systemic inflammatoryresponse in patients subjected to invasive surgical procedures,especially cardiothoracic surgeries. Kallikrein inhibitors can also beused to reduce or prevent cerebral ischemia and stroke, and/orreperfusion injury associated with cerebral ischemia. They can alsoprevent neurological and cognitive deficits associated with stroke,blood loss, and cerebral ischemia, e.g., events that are not associatedwith surgical intervention. Further examples of applications forkallikrein inhibitors include pediatric cardiac surgery, lungtransplantation, total hip replacement, and orthotopic livertransplantation, to reduce or prevent stroke during these procedures, aswell as to reduce or prevent stroke during coronary artery bypassgrafting (CABG) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Pharmaceutical Compositions

The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions, each comprising oneor more compounds of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptablecarrier. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositioncomprises a compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptablecarrier. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositioncomprises a plurality of compounds of the invention and apharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition of the inventionfurther comprises at least one additional pharmaceutically active agentother than a compound of the invention. The at least one additionalpharmaceutically active agent can be an agent useful in the treatment ofa disease or condition characterized by unwanted plasma kallikreinactivity. For example, the at least one additional pharmaceuticallyactive agent can be an anticoagulation agent, an anti-platelet agent, ora thrombolytic agent.

Anticoagulation agents prevent the coagulation of blood components andthus prevent clot formation, for example in atrial fibrillation.Anticoagulants include, but are not limited to, heparin, warfarin,coumadin, dicumarol, phenprocoumon, acenocoumarol, ethyl biscoumacetate,hirudin, bivalarutin, direct thrombin inhibitors, and indandionederivatives.

Anti-platelet agents inhibit platelet aggregation and are often used toprevent thromboembolic stroke in patients who have experienced atransient ischemic attack, stroke, or atrial fibrillation. Anti-plateletagents include, but are not limited to, aspirin, thienopyridinederivatives such as ticlopodine and clopidogrel, dipyridamole, andsulfinpyrazone, as well as RGD mimerics.

Thrombolytic agents lyse clots that cause thromboembolic phenomena suchas stroke, myocardial infarction, and pulmonary thromboembolism.Thrombolytic agents include, but are not limited to, plasminogen,a2-antiplasmin, streptokinase, antistreplase, TNK, tissue plasminogenactivator (tPA), and urokinase. Tissue plasminogen activator includesnative tPA and recombinant tPA, as well as modified forms of tPA thatretain the enzymatic or fibrinolytic activities of native tPA.

Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be prepared bycombining one or more compounds of the invention with a pharmaceuticallyacceptable carrier and, optionally, one or more additionalpharmaceutically active agents.

In certain embodiments, the invention provides a pharmaceuticalcomposition that is formulated for the prophylactic or therapeutictreatment of disease or condition characterized by unwanted plasmakallikrein activity.

Methods of Use

The present invention provides compounds that inhibit the formation ofthrombin via the intrinsic pathway and thus reduce the risk of newpathogenic thrombus formation (vessel occlusion or reocclusion) and alsoimprove fibrinolytic-induced reperfusion when given as adjunctivetherapy with a fibrinolytic regimen. Diseases and conditions that can betreated using the compounds of the present invention include, but arenot limited to, stroke, inflammation, reperfusion injury, acutemyocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, post fibrinolytic treatmentcondition, angina, edema, angioedema, hereditary angioedema, sepsis,arthritis, hemorrhage, blood loss during cardiopulmonary bypass,inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes mellitus, retinopathy, diabeticretinopathy, diabetic macular edema, diabetic macular degeneration,age-related macular edema, age-related macular degeneration,proliferative retinopathy, neuropathy, hypertension, brain edema,increased albumin excretion, macroalbuminuria, and nephropathy.

For example, in patients with angioedema conditions, small polypeptidePK inhibitor DX-88 (ecallantide) alleviates edema in patients withhereditary angioedema (HAE). Williams, A. et al. (2003) Transfus. Apher.Sci. 29:255-8; Schneider, L. et al. (2007) J Allergy Clin Immunol.120:416-22; and Levy, J. H. et al. (2006) Expert Opin. Invest. Drugs15:1077-90. A bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist, Icatibant, is alsoeffective in treating HAE. Bork, K. et al. (2007) J. Allergy Clin.Immunol. 119:1497-1503. Because plasma kallikrein generates bradykinin,inhibition of plasma kallikrein is expected to inhibit bradykininproduction.

For example, in coagulation resulting from fibrinolytic treatment (e.g.,treatment with tissue plasminogen activator or streptokinase), higherlevels of plasma kallikrein are found in patients undergoingfibrinolysis. Hoffmeister, H. M. et al. (1998) J. Cardiovasc. Pharmacol.31:764-72. Plasmin-mediated activation of the intrinsic pathway has beenshown to occur in plasma and blood and was markedly attenuated in plasmafrom individuals deficient in any of the intrinsic pathway components.Ewald, G. A. et al. (1995) Circulation 91:28-36.

Individuals who have had an acute MI were found to have elevated levelsof activated plasma kallikrein and thrombin. Hoffmeister, H. M., et al.(1998) Circulation 98:2527-33.

DX-88 reduced brain edema, infarct volume, and neurological deficits inan animal model of ischemic stroke. Storini, C. et al. (2006) J. Pharm.Exp. Ther. 318:849-854. C1-inhibitor reduced infarct size in a mousemodel of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). De Simoni, M. G. etal. (2004) Am. J. Pathol. 164:1857-1863; and Akita, N. et al.

Regarding blood loss during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), it has beenfound that the kallikrein-kinin (i.e., contact) system is activatedduring CABG. Wachtfogel, Y. T. (1989) Blood 73:468. Activation of thecontact system during CPB results in up to a 20-fold increase in plasmabradykinin. Cugno, M. et al. (2006) Chest 120:1776-82; and Campbell, D.J. et al. (2001) Am. J. Physiol. Reg. Integr. Comp. Physiol.281:1059-70.

Plasma kallikrein inhibitors P8720 and PKSI-527 have also been found toreduce joint swelling in rat models of arthritis. De La Cadena, R. A. etal. (1995) FASEB J. 9:446-52; Fujimori, Y. (1993) Agents Action 39:42-8.It has also been found that inflammation in animal models of arthritiswas accompanied by activation of the contact system. Blais, C. Jr. etal. (1997) Arthritis Rheum. 40:1327-33.

The contact system is activatedduring acute and chronic intestinal inflammation. Sartor, R. B. et al.(1996) Gastroenterology 110:1467-81. It has been found that B2 receptorantagonist, an antibody to high molecular weight kininogen, or reductionin levels of kininogen reduced clinicopathology in animal models of IBD.Ibid.; Arai, Y. et al. (1999) Dig. Dis. Sci. 44:845-51; and Keith, J. C.et al. (2005) Arthritis Res. Therapy 7:R769-76.

Formulations, Routes of Administration, and Dosing

The compounds of the invention can be formulated as pharmaceuticalcompositions and administered to a mammalian host, such as a humanpatient, in a variety of forms adapted to the chosen route ofadministration, e.g., orally or parenterally, by intravenous,intraperitoneal, intramuscular, topical, or subcutaneous routes.Additional routes of administration are also contemplated by theinvention.

Thus, the present compounds may be systemically administered, e.g.,orally, in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle suchas an inert diluent or an assimilable edible carrier. They may beenclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, may be compressed intotablets, or may be incorporated directly with the food of the patient'sdiet. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compound may becombined with one or more excipients and used in the form of ingestibletablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions,syrups, wafers, and the like. Such compositions and preparations shouldcontain at least 0.1% of active compound. The percentage of thecompositions and preparations may, of course, be varied and mayconveniently be between about 2% to about 60% of the weight of a givenunit dosage form. The amount of active compound in such therapeuticallyuseful compositions is such that an effective dosage level will beobtained.

The tablets, troches, pills, capsules, and the like may also contain thefollowing diluents and carriers: binders such as gum tragacanth, acacia,corn starch or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; adisintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acidand the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweeteningagent such as sucrose, fructose, lactose or aspartame or a flavoringagent such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen, or cherry flavoring may beadded. When the unit dosage form is a capsule, it may contain, inaddition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier, such as avegetable oil or a polyethylene glycol. Various other materials may bepresent as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of thesolid unit dosage form. For instance, tablets, pills, or capsules may becoated with gelatin, wax, shellac or sugar and the like. A syrup orelixir may contain the active compound, sucrose or fructose as asweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye andflavoring such as cherry or orange flavor. Of course, any material usedin preparing any unit dosage form should be pharmaceutically acceptableand substantially non-toxic in the amounts employed. In addition, theactive compound may be incorporated into sustained-release preparationsand devices.

The active compound may also be administered intravenously orintraperitoneally by infusion or injection. Solutions of the activecompound or its salts can be prepared in water or physiologicallyacceptable aqueous solution, optionally mixed with a nontoxicsurfactant. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquidpolyethylene glycols, triacetin, and mixtures thereof and in oils. Underordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain apreservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.

The pharmaceutical dosage forms suitable for injection or infusion caninclude sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions or sterile powderscomprising the active ingredient which are adapted for theextemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable or infusible solutionsor dispersions, optionally encapsulated in liposomes. In all cases, theultimate dosage form should be sterile, fluid and stable under theconditions of manufacture and storage. The liquid carrier or vehicle canbe a solvent or liquid dispersion medium comprising, for example, water,ethanol, a polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, liquidpolyethylene glycols, and the like), vegetable oils, nontoxic glycerylesters, and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can bemaintained, for example, by the formation of liposomes, by themaintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions orby the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action ofmicroorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial andantifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbicacid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable toinclude isotonic agents, for example, sugars, buffers or sodiumchloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can bebrought about by the use in the compositions of agents delayingabsorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.

Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the activecompound in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with variousof the other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed byfilter sterilization. In the case of sterile powders for the preparationof sterile injectable solutions, methods of preparation can includevacuum drying and the freeze drying techniques, which yield a powder ofthe active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient present inthe previously sterile-filtered solutions.

For topical administration, the present compounds may be applied in pureform, i.e., when they are liquids. However, it will generally bedesirable to administer them to the skin as compositions orformulations, in combination with a dermatologically acceptable carrier,which may be a solid or a liquid.

Useful solid carriers include finely divided solids such as talc, clay,microcrystalline cellulose, silica, alumina and the like. Useful liquidcarriers include water, alcohols or glycols or water-alcohol/glycolblends, in which the present compounds can be dissolved or dispersed ateffective levels, optionally with the aid of non-toxic surfactants.Adjuvants such as fragrances and additional antimicrobial agents can beadded to optimize the properties for a given use. The resultant liquidcompositions can be applied from absorbent pads, used to impregnatebandages and other dressings, or sprayed onto the affected area usingpump-type or aerosol sprayers.

Thickeners such as synthetic polymers, fatty acids, fatty acid salts andesters, fatty alcohols, modified celluloses or modified mineralmaterials can also be employed with liquid carriers to form spreadablepastes, gels, ointments, soaps, and the like, for application directlyto the skin of the user.

Examples of useful dermatological compositions which can be used todeliver the compounds of the invention to the skin are known in the art;for example, see Jacquet et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,608,392; incorporatedherein by reference), Geria (U.S. Pat. No. 4,992,478; incorporatedherein by reference), Smith et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,559,157;incorporated herein by reference), and Wortzman (U.S. Pat. No.4,820,508; incorporated herein by reference).

Useful dosages of the compounds of the invention can be determined, atleast initially, by comparing their in vitro activity and in vivoactivity in animal models. Methods for the extrapolation of effectivedosages in mice, and other animals, to humans are known in the art; forexample, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,938,949 (incorporated herein by reference).

The amount of the compound, or an active salt thereof, required for usein treatment will vary not only with the particular compound or saltselected but also with the route of administration, the nature of thecondition being treated, and the age and condition of the patient andwill be ultimately at the discretion of the attendant physician orclinician.

In general, however, a suitable dose will be in the range of from about0.5 to about 100 mg/kg body weight of the recipient per day, e.g., fromabout 3 to about 90 mg/kg of body weight per day, from about 6 to about75 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, from about of 10 to about 60mg/kg of body weight per day, or from about 15 to about 50 mg/kg of bodyweight per day.

Compounds of the invention can be conveniently formulated in unit dosageform; for example, containing 5 to 1000 mg, 10 to 750 mg, or 50 to 500mg of active ingredient per unit dosage form. In one embodiment, theinvention provides a composition comprising a compound of the inventionformulated in such a unit dosage form. The desired dose may convenientlybe presented in a single dose or as divided doses to be administered atappropriate intervals, for example, as two, three, four or moresub-doses per day. The sub-dose itself may be further divided, e.g.,into a number of discrete loosely spaced administrations.

Compounds of the invention can also be administered in combination withother therapeutic agents, for example, other agents that are useful fortreating or preventing ischemia, blood loss, or reperfusion injury.

Other delivery systems can include time-release, delayed release, orsustained release delivery systems such as are well-known in the art.Such systems can avoid repeated administrations of the active compound,increasing convenience to the subject and the physician. Many types ofrelease delivery systems are available and known to those of ordinaryskill in the art. Use of a long-term sustained release implant may bedesirable. Long-term release, as used herein, means that the deliverysystem or is implant constructed and arranged to deliver therapeuticlevels of the active ingredient for at least 30 days, and preferably 60days.

In certain embodiments, a compound of the invention is formulated forintraocular administration, for example direct injection or insertionwithin or in association with an intraocular medical device.

The compounds of the invention may be formulated for depositing into amedical device, which may include any of a variety of conventionalgrafts, stents, including stent grafts, catheters, balloons, baskets, orother device that can be deployed or permanently implanted within a bodylumen. As a particular example, it would be desirable to have devicesand methods which can deliver compounds of the invention to the regionof a body which has been treated by interventional technique.

In exemplary embodiment, a compound of the invention may be depositedwithin a medical device, such as a stent, and delivered to the treatmentsite for treatment of a portion of the body.

Stents have been used as delivery vehicles for therapeutic agents (i.e.,drugs). Intravascular stents are generally permanently implanted incoronary or peripheral vessels. Stent designs include those of U.S. Pat.No. 4,733,655 (Palmaz), U.S. Pat. No. 4,800,882 (Gianturco), or U.S.Pat. No. 4,886,062 (Wiktor). Such designs include both metal andpolymeric stents, as well as self-expanding and balloon-expandablestents. Stents may also be used to deliver a drug at the site of contactwith the vasculature, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,102,417 (Palmaz),U.S. Pat. No. 5,419,760 (Narciso, Jr.), U.S. Pat. No. 5,429,634(Narciso, Jr.), and in International Patent Application Nos. WO 91/12779(Medtronic, Inc.) and WO 90/13332 (Cedars-Sanai Medical Center), forexample.

The term “deposited” means that the compound is coated, adsorbed,placed, or otherwise incorporated into the device by methods known inthe art. For example, the compound may be embedded and released fromwithin (“matrix type”) or surrounded by and released through (“reservoirtype”) polymer materials that coat or span the medical device. In thelatter example, the compound may be entrapped within the polymermaterials or coupled to the polymer materials using one or more thetechniques for generating such materials known in the art. In otherformulations, the compound may be linked to the surface of the medicaldevice without the need for a coating, for example by means ofdetachable bonds, and release with time or can be removed by activemechanical or chemical processes. In other formulations, the compoundmay be in a permanently immobilized form that presents the compound atthe implantation site.

In certain embodiments, the compound may be incorporated with polymercompositions during the formation of biocompatible coatings for medicaldevices, such as stents. The coatings produced from these components aretypically homogeneous and are useful for coating a number of devicesdesigned for implantation.

The polymer may be either a biostable or a bioabsorbable polymerdepending on the desired rate of release or the desired degree ofpolymer stability, but frequently a bioabsorbable polymer is preferredfor this embodiment since, unlike a biostable polymer, it will not bepresent long after implantation to cause any adverse, chronic localresponse. Bioabsorbable polymers that could be used include, but are notlimited to, poly(L-lactic acid), polycaprolactone, polyglycolide (PGA),poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLLA/PGA), poly(hydroxybutyrate),poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate), polydioxanone, polyorthoester,polyanhydride, poly(glycolic acid), poly(D-lactic acid), poly(L-lacticacid), poly(D, L-lactic acid), poly(D, L-lactide) (PLA), poly(L-lactide) (PLLA), poly(glycolic acid-co-trimethylene carbonate)(PGA/PTMC), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polydioxanone (PDS),polyphosphoester, polyphosphoester urethane, poly(amino acids),cyanoacrylates, poly(trimethylene carbonate), poly(iminocarbonate),copoly(ether-esters) (e.g., PEO/PLA), polyalkylene oxalates,polyphosphazenes and biomolecules such as fibrin, fibrinogen, cellulose,starch, collagen and hyaluronic acid, polyepsilon caprolactone,polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals,polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacrylates, cross linked or amphipathic blockcopolymers of hydrogels, and other suitable bioabsorbable poplymersknown in the art. Also, biostable polymers with a relatively low chronictissue response such as polyurethanes, silicones, and polyesters couldbe used, and other polymers could also be used if they can be dissolvedand cured or polymerized on the medical device such as polyolefins,polyisobutylene and ethylene-alphaolefin copolymers; acrylic polymersand copolymers, vinyl halide polymers and copolymers, such as polyvinylchloride; polyvinylpyrrolidone; polyvinyl ethers, such as polyvinylmethyl ether; polyvinylidene halides, such as polyvinylidene fluorideand polyvinylidene chloride; polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl ketones;polyvinyl aromatics, such as polystyrene, polyvinyl esters, such aspolyvinyl acetate; copolymers of vinyl monomers with each other andolefins, such as ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymers,acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers, ABS resins, and ethylene-vinyl acetatecopolymers; pyran copolymer; polyhydroxy-propyl-methacrylamide-phenol;polyhydroxyethyl-aspartamide-phenol; polyethyleneoxide-polylysinesubstituted with palmitoyl residues; polyamides, such as Nylon 66 andpolycaprolactam; alkyd resins, polycarbonates; polyoxymethylenes;polyimides; polyethers; epoxy resins, polyurethanes; rayon;rayon-triacetate; cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose butyrate;cellulose acetate butyrate; cellophane; cellulose nitrate; cellulosepropionate; cellulose ethers; and carboxymethyl cellulose.

Polymers and semipermeable polymer matrices may be formed into shapedarticles, such as valves, stents, tubing, prostheses and the like.

In certain embodiments of the invention, the compound of the inventionis coupled to a polymer or semipermeable polymer matrix that is formedas a stent or stent-graft device.

Typically, polymers are applied to the surface of an implantable deviceby spin coating, dipping, or spraying. Additional methods known in theart can also be utilized for this purpose. Methods of spraying includetraditional methods as well as microdeposition techniques with an inkjettype of dispenser. Additionally, a polymer can be deposited on animplantable device using photo-patterning to place the polymer on onlyspecific portions of the device. This coating of the device provides auniform layer around the device which allows for improved diffusion ofvarious analytes through the device coating.

In certain embodiments of the invention, the compound is formulated forrelease from the polymer coating into the environment in which themedical device is placed. Preferably, the compound is released in acontrolled manner over an extended time frame (e.g., months) using atleast one of several well-known techniques involving polymer carriers orlayers to control elution. Some of these techniques are described inU.S. Patent Application 2004/0243225A1, the entire disclosure of whichis incorporated herein in its entirety.

Moreover, as described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 6,770,729, which isincorporated herein in its entirety, the reagents and reactionconditions of the polymer compositions can be manipulated so that therelease of the compound from the polymer coating can be controlled. Forexample, the diffusion coefficient of the one or more polymer coatingscan be modulated to control the release of the compound from the polymercoating. In a variation on this theme, the diffusion coefficient of theone or more polymer coatings can be controlled to modulate the abilityof an analyte that is present in the environment in which the medicaldevice is placed (e.g. an analyte that facilitates the breakdown orhydrolysis of some portion of the polymer) to access one or morecomponents within the polymer composition (and for example, therebymodulate the release of the compound from the polymer coating). Yetanother embodiment of the invention includes a device having a pluralityof polymer coatings, each having a plurality of diffusion coefficients.In such embodiments of the invention, the release of the compound fromthe polymer coating can be modulated by the plurality of polymercoatings.

In yet another embodiment of the invention, the release of the compoundfrom the polymer coating is controlled by modulating one or more of theproperties of the polymer composition, such as the presence of one ormore endogenous or exogenous compounds, or alternatively, the pH of thepolymer composition. For example, certain polymer compositions can bedesigned to release a compound in response to a decrease in the pH ofthe polymer composition.
